Everyone has football fever, but not in the usual way. England's Lionesses are tearing up the pitch and making a real name for the female game. Lexi, who never had the opportunity to be taken seriously, inspires a group of school leavers to redefine the game in her home town of Dagenham.

Squad Goals is a brand new immersive experience from Caspa Productions. The show had its world premiere at Dagenham & Redbridge Football Ground in September 2020 as a socially distanced, outdoor, immersive experience, before being closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
